About the film - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - 2010 (not spoiler)

Desert everywhere different in Egypt is a rocky Mars, red rocks, dead geometry of the fractures and lines in Tunisia sparkling crystals Tatooine, sun mica roads and salty dunes to the horizon. Once in the desert, you know — what were looking for in her numerous prophets and hermits. Not the loneliness, and the opportunity to be alone with the sky, to hear the flowing sand of time.

This pretty tacky sand allegory found material embodiment in computer games, ubisofts the series Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (as many as five parts for the five PC and for consoles), and now a movie.

It should be noted that Victor Olegovich Pelevin, when writing his "Prince of Gosplan", was inspired by a very very different platform adventure — original, sample 1989, "Prince of Persia" — jugs, grills, swords from the floor — where there are no Sands of time is not in sight. Therefore, let's forget about "Prince of Gosplan", the more that I overlooked for the film, he has nothing, and remember our critics solely from a desire to demonstrate erudition.

And if to speak about plewinski characters, it is better to remember him the six-fingered man — who played Princess Tamino, actress Gemma Arterton was born with an extra finger. That did not stop her from becoming one of the main beauties of British cinema, in fact — the new Audrey Hepburn. Raised in a family cleaners and welders Gemma was amazingly talented girl and has not lost his talent in Hollywood.

The main feature igroseriala Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time — Sands of time. With the help of this amazing substance Prince could make a short trip to the past, "restore system from backup", and relive key moments of his life.

Naturally, all these space-time manipulation, and the Persian parkour looks more than cinematic. Sin not to use. Here, Mike Newell ("Donnie Brasco", "Harry Potter and the goblet of fire") and was tempted, and Jerry Bruckheimer gave development money, a hundred and fifty million dollars. Turned out well — very colorful, very spectacular.

The Arab East is a treasure trove of stories, character types and incredible beauty of the landscapes. Setting this (in the same way as a pirate of the Caribbean) can operate indefinitely. Nimble Persian Prince became the hero of eleven games, movies, I think, will be not much less.

I deliberately won't say anything about the script, especially because our distributors saharashri the announcement of megacolon, I can only say that the plot will revolve around the wonderful dagger which you can use to change the past and future (save the Princess, to achieve world domination, erase in the Persian powder whole planet is optional).

Surprisingly, in the hands of a master even purely entertainment history sled ostriches, creepy black assasinate — sleeve snake and sand dervishes takes an unexpected philosophical (the eternal theme of Predestination and human will), and in some places and erotic sound. And understandably so — some time ago, Newell has removed one of the most famous melodramas, the film "Four weddings and a funeral" and he plays the emotional strings of women, and not only, audience.

His Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton), guardian of the above-mentioned magic knife has all the qualities of a cool girl: brave, fun-loving, cocky, and incredibly beautiful. Prince Dastan (Jake Gyllenhal) things are more complicated. The guy he's endlessly charismatic, impressive, but still quite difficult to forget it (Gyllenhal) gay adventures in "Brokeback mountain." I confess.

But overall, the casting of the film was chosen more than successfully (as played by Ben Kingsley!), the actors work well at the site, and not only face, but also other muscles of the body. Tricks in the ribbon, great variety, never boring, and some literally copied from a computer source. Fans, rejoice! Especially deliver battle scenes and fighting choreography. Want to find the non-remote and put the movie on a frame-by-frame promodo.

Interesting fact — ubisoftas the series Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is the prequel to the original, old-fashioned "Prince of Persia", and the famous confrontation between the hero and the vizier was already too late.
